This Week's New Guides
A quick round-up of what's just gone live, as part of our ongoing weekly (sometimes more) publishing schedule.
As promised in our launch post, we're adding new pages every week rather than trying to cover everything at once. Here's what's new in this batch:
Culture & history
- Hanoi Flag Tower — a 19th-century watchtower that survived colonial-era demolition
- Hoa Lo Prison Museum — a sobering but historically important stop
- The French Quarter — colonial-era boulevards south of Hoan Kiem Lake
- Bat Trang Ceramic Village — a centuries-old pottery village just outside the city
Practical planning
- Shopping & Souvenirs — what's actually worth buying, and how bargaining works
- Tipping & Etiquette — realistic norms rather than guesswork
- Visiting During Tet — what changes during Vietnam's biggest holiday
See the full, growing list any time on our Things to Do and Plan Your Trip hub pages. More on the way next week.
